As a one-stop supplier for hardware-in-the-loop simulators, dSPACE offers a complete and seamless tool chain for ECU testing. The tool chain supports all vehicle domains and ranges from component tests to system integration testing.
The SCALEXIO system has a new hardware and software architecture to cover the future challenges of hardware-in-the-loop test systems. All the hardware is standardized and can be reused in all variations of SCALEXIO systems.
dSPACE Simulator Mid-SizedSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is a ready-to-use, standard HIL simulator for testing automotive ECUs systematically and automatically. The simulation model runs on the processor hardware (single-processor or multiprocessor systems). dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size generates and measures I/O signals via the integrated dSPACE I/O boards. The function range is complemented by load and failure simulation.
dSPACE Simulator Full-SizedSPACE Simulator Full-Size is mounted in a 19” cabinet whose height depends on your requirements. The dSPACE processor boards and I/O boards are mounted in a standard PX20 Expansion Box. The PX20 Expansion Box provides 20 slots for dSPACE boards. An additional Expansion Box can be integrated on request.
Implementing Mechatronic Test BenchesIf in some HIL test cases, it is not possible to access the ECU only via its electronic interfaces, dSPACE offers services for highly dynamic test benches for mechatronic components and systems.
Electric Drive TechnologydSPACE provides a wide range of test systems for developing and testing ECUs for electric drives. Depending on the testing purpose and the project conditions, you can access the ECU at different levels, such as signal, electric power, and mechanical level.
Software for HIL TestingFor HIL testing, dSPACE offers a comprehensive range of software – from simulation models to configuration, experiment, and automation software as well as data management software.
With more than 20 years of experience in HIL simulation, dSPACE has a wide range of knowledge regarding specific HIL topics.
With electrical failure simulation in a HIL environment, realistic electrical errors can be inserted in the device under test under repeatable conditions. The components of the dSPACE Failure Insertion Unit (FIU) are flexible enough to allow tests which are difficult to conduct under real-world conditions, such as open wire during braking.
Test SystemsFrom the first function tests with PC-based simulation, to HIL simulation, up to mechatronic test benches, dSPACE provides single-source test solutions that include a seamless tool chain, engineering, and support.
Bus SimulationdSPACE offers a comprehensive tool chain for bus simulation in hardware-in-the-loop applications.
Simulation ModelsThe dSPACE simulation models provide comprehensive simulation solutions for four application areas: combustion engines, electric components, vehicle dynamics, and traffic environment.
dSPACE systems are easy to get up and running – however, if a project is more complex, if individual solutions are needed or if there is high time pressure, you can trust dSPACE's fast, competent and reliable engineering and consulting services.
